I finally found some time to do a decent shoot for my car so here goes. Couple of basic mods I have accumulated since March 2011 when I picked up this bad boy.

I also did a respray on 75% of the car when I purchased the lip kit because WDP is such a paint to match.

Acura TL-S A-Spec Lip Kit
Acura OEM Vision Window Visors
HT-Spec Version 2.0 Type 1 Coilovers
Skunk 2 Front Camber Kit
Ingalls Rear Camber Kit

YES: I need to get spacers, I will eventually get around to purchasing some...

You thought you'd get more comments about the car or the photos? :lol:

Car: (I'm also a TL owner, though not the TL-S.) I'm too old to ride in a lowered car but I went through my phase for 10 years so I can understand it. I wouldn't recommend spacers. Instead, get new rims with the proper offset that you desire. This is both for safety and handling.

Photos: Well... color and saturation are good. But I'm not digging the reflections nor the angles that you shot these at. The frontal shot is off slightly. The rear shot is off slightly. Center the vehicles at least for those two. I'd prefer a 3/4 view instead of a 7/8. Turn the wheels accordingly. The two photos where the car is cut-off... I'm not feeling the crop.

Again, it's just my opinion and I'm definitely no authority on what makes a great photo. Just hoping to provide some constructive criticism. :)

+1 on getting the right offset wheels over spacers. we're both on the same HT-Spec V2 type 1 :)

for the frontal and the rear shots i find it boring to be directly infront of it, hence the slight offset.

I was just under the impression you were looking for comments. I guess you really weren't. :D

I for one am happy to not see any gravity defying angles used in this photoshoot. I like the color and I'm an Acura CSX-S owner so I dig the TL's.
